No Fear. of an Express Tight.

NEw YORK, Nov. IA dispatch from
Chicago, printed yesterday, announced
that the Wells-Fargo express company
had contracted TO do the express business
over the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
line, and would shortly open an Office in
Chicago. This, the western people
thought, would create a war OF rates be-
tween the express companies, because the
Wells-fargo company was getting into
new territory in the face OF an agreement
by which the leading express companies
have divided up the country and do not
trcspass on each others reserves. Prcsi-
dent I. G. Plat, OF the United States com
pany, said yesterday that there was no
foundation for any apprehension OF war
OF rates. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe road had asked him TO bid for the bust
ness, but he had declined 10 do 50. He
did not wish 10 20 into that territory. The
Wois-Fargo people had hitherto done the
business on these lines. and II was natural
~ theirs. He admitted that there was a
slight friction between the United States
and Adams express companies since the
United States company acquired the Balti-
moro d Ohio company, but said that there
was nothing in IL 10 lead to cutting Of
rates.
l.. o. Weir, general western agent Of the
Adams company, said there was not the
slightest concern in the minds OF the
managers Of his company over the Wells
Fargo company, and, as for Mr.. Plati' $
purchase OF the Baltimore q Ohio, they
were rather glad of IL, for Mr.. Platt was
amenablo 30 reason.
Mr.. NJ. +. Berry, general agent Of the
American express company, said that
there was nothing whatever to disturb the
serenity Of the skies over the business OF
any OF the express companies, for all were
acting in good faith toward each other.
